As per NEC for 700A you can use a min. of 1/0 AWG(50mm2) copper or 3/0AWG (95mm2) aluminum ground cable. hope this answer your question. Hattab
Yes, there are ground wire gauges. The approiate size ground wire must be matched to the size service you are installing. For instance a 200 amp serivce must be grounded with a # 4 bare copper ground wire.
# 10 bare copper.
Use #10 copper.
A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.
#6 bare copper wire.
A #14 wire will do fine for grounding a 20 amp device. That is the size of the ground wire in a 2 conductor # 12 wire building cable.
Yes, there are ground wire gauges. The approiate size ground wire must be matched to the size service you are installing. For instance a 200 amp serivce must be grounded with a # 4 bare copper ground wire.
The ground wire in a two or three conductor #12 cable is a #14 bare ground wire.
A 200 amp service panel will require a # 4 bare copper ground wire.
To calculate the wire size, a system voltage is needed.
Yes, as long as it is the same size wire or larger as the hot and neutral wires.
Yes, NEC has an entire chart on grounding.
1/0 copper
# 10 bare copper.

Both 12-2 and 14-2 wire have 2 wires in a single cord. Neither contains a ground wire. Size 12 wire is a larger wire than size 14 wire. Size 12 wire can carry more amperage without getting hot and burning up. They would not be used for house wiring or machinery since they do not have a ground wire.
